Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. Rome wasn't built in a day, but they worked on it every single day. 

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.  It is the courage to continue that counts.

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we only have one. 

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time. 

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.
